"door?"

Oleg followed Fei's line of sight, and immediately understood, and quickly replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the iron prison and water prison are not the whole of this underground grotto labyrinth. The tunnel at the bottom, no one knows where it leads to. Some people have entered the tunnel before to explore, but they have never returned. It is very dangerous. Some people say that there is a labyrinth extending in all directions, and some people say that there is a terrifying cannibal hell. The evil beasts are hidden inside, anyway, there used to be terrifying whistling and roaring sounds from inside for a period of time every day, and there would even be a sudden strong suction force coming out of the tunnel, sucking people in alive... and then to prevent it from appearing Human life, the old king of the previous generation sent people to build a steel gate here, sealed the corridor, and prohibited anyone from entering."

As Oleg said, he looked at the black steel gate with uneasy eyes.

Fei nodded calmly on the surface, but the shock in his heart could not be further increased. According to Oleg, this huge iron prison and water prison is probably just a part of the underground grotto, and it is also very likely that it is a small part.

This is really crazy. Who built this underground grotto? Fei connected the scale of this incredible grotto labyrinth with the magnificent buildings of the entire Chambord City. Suddenly, an unstoppable thought popped up in his mind: Could it be that the ancients who built Chambord City just opened up What about the people of this incredible underground city of grottoes

Fei had a vague feeling that Chambord City, like this underground city of grottoes, only revealed the tip of the iceberg, like a huge unknown treasure, and many mysterious and magical places were quietly submerged In the dust of history, it is just that it has not been discovered yet, waiting to be explored and discovered by oneself.

At this moment, Fei's curiosity was crazily attracted.

He made up his mind that when he turned around, he must take the time to pass through the huge iron gate, enter the mysterious corridor behind, and find out what secrets this mysterious underground city of grottoes hides.

While speaking, Oleg had already brought Fei to a spacious stone room on the first floor of the huge space in the belly of the mountain. There were all kinds of utensils inside, and the lights were brightly lit, bringing a little bit of warmth. Fei walked in and sat in a Sitting on the soft stone chair covered with black animal skin behind a black nanmu table, he was thinking about some issues that he had ignored before.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of "bang bang bang bang" from the iron fence outside, as well as the crisp sound of the iron chain being dragged on the ground. Brooke finally went back and came in with a person behind him.

"Your Majesty, Petr Cech has already arrived."

Brooke bowed and said.

Fei took a closer look and found that the former captain of the King's Guard, whom Brook cared about and respected very much, was a tall man over 1.9 meters tall, with tattered clothes and big bare feet. After being locked up for a long time, his messy hair was covered with firewood and tangled together like three or four dirty mops. His body was a little thin, and his hands and feet were chained up by wrist-thick iron chains. , the place where the iron ring touched the hands and feet had already worn out thick scars, looking extremely desolate, like a beggar.

But for this extremely down-and-out man, the pair of eyes under the disheveled hair shocked Fei—these eyes were surprisingly bright, and there was a strange light in the brown pupils, which made people feel like It is the dragon dormant in the mountain stream, and the tiger lying on its side in Pingyang. There is an indescribable calmness and confidence in the eyes. If you only look at these eyes, no one will associate his identity with a prisoner who committed a felony. together.

"Peter-Pech pays homage to His Majesty the King!"

After entering the stone room, Cech's eyes carefully surveyed everyone, and finally focused on Fei. The chain rattled and bowed his head to Fei.

"Get up quickly! Come on, quickly remove the chains on Captain Cech's body, and move a chair over here."

As Fei said, he got up and walked from behind the nanmu table, and personally came to the front with both hands to help Cech who was kneeling on the ground. The warden next to him, Oleg, saw the situation and immediately knew that the former king's guard It is an unstoppable fact that the captain has regained power. Don't look at such shocking crimes as treason, but this kind of thing can't be solved by His Majesty the king with a single sentence? The warden observed the situation, and hurriedly moved a stone chair padded with soft animal skins, then took the key from the jailer, and opened the iron chains tied around Cech's hands and feet with his own hands.

Fei stretched out his hand and moved the whole black nanmu table in front of Cech. This hand showed the great strength of a level 16 barbarian. He pointed to the exquisite food prepared by Oleg on the table and said with a smile : "Peter, eat your stomach first, and let's talk about other things when you're full."

There was a look of surprise in Cech's eyes. He looked at Fei, was silent for a moment, and was not polite. He grabbed a piece of roast pork hind leg with both hands and ate it vigorously. As if there was the most delicious food in the world in front of him, he quickly swept away the food that was enough for four or five strong men in front of him, and at the end of the meal, he poured the fine wine from the silver jug into his stomach in one go , got up and hiccupped, then huffed and turned around and knelt down in front of Fei, bowed his head and swore loudly: "My king, Peter-Cech hereby swears allegiance to you, willing to give everything for you, including my life!"

Fei was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Cech to swear allegiance without saying a word after eating a big meal. He didn't have time to say a lot of pretentious words that he had prepared... He suddenly felt terrified, and thought triumphantly: Could it be Do you already have the domineering aura to subdue heroes in the invisible

But how did Fei know that the legendary deeds of His Majesty Alexander showing off his power to kill powerful enemies on the battlefield after he returned to normal in the past two days, and then beheading knights of the Zenit Empire in a fit of anger at the celebration banquet have long been known. It was widely spread in the city of Chambord, and even the jailers of the Iron Prison Water Prison would happily talk about it for a long time in their spare time. These things had already reached Cech's ears through the mouth of the jailers. He Qian exhorted and told Wan Wan a lot. The former captain of the king's guard was also a sensible person. He knew that his turning point had come, and that the king was indeed worthy of his service after he became normal, so he immediately swore allegiance.

"Okay, that's great! Peter, I've wronged you during this time... Brooke, send me an order immediately to inform the whole city. After a thorough investigation by the king, Peter-Cech, the former captain of the king's guard, was not guilty of treason. The officer was framed by Bazel, and from today onwards, the grievances will be cleared, the officer will return to his post, and continue to serve as the captain of the king's guard!"

Brook was overjoyed, he didn't expect it to be so easy, so he quickly pulled Cech to kneel and thank him.

On the one hand, Oleg, the warden, also congratulated Cech again and again. From a life-threatening prisoner to a high-ranking captain of the king's guard, Cech rose to the top in a short period of time and returned to the center of power in the kingdom. Although Oleg, a sycophant, is not a good bird, he is very good at observing words and feelings. He can clearly see that His Majesty the King attaches great importance to Cech, and he has classified Cech as one of the people who must be friends with each other.

Cech thanked Sun Fei, and after getting up, he unexpectedly turned around to thank the warden Oleg and said, "Thank you for your dedicated care these days, otherwise I would have been tortured to death in this dark place." The iron prison is in prison, Peter Cech will never forget the life-saving grace, and there will be rich rewards!"

This sudden scene made Fei and Brook look at each other in blank dismay.

Especially Brook, who is now one of the two major military and political giants in Chambord, he knows Cech's character well. In the past, Cech was dismissive of a flattering villain like Oleg. He bowed his head in thanks, and the surprise in his heart was beyond words. And Fei was also puzzled for a while, and looked up and down Oleg, the sycophant, several times, as if he had discovered a new continent.

After Cech thanked him, he seemed to be aware of the differences among the crowd, and explained that after he was framed and imprisoned, according to the former herald Bazel, he was worried that there would be troubles, and he would use it secretly before the day of public execution came. There are too many ways to kill this stumbling block by insidious torture and torture, and there are too many ways to kill a prisoner in the dark iron prison. However, Oleg, the warden who has always obeyed Bazel, this time I don't know which nerve was wrongly wired, but he was moved with kindness. For the first time in his life, he obeyed Bazel's order and did not torture Cech. Instead, he took care of him, which made the king Only the captain of the guard can save his life and wait until the day when his grievances are cleared, otherwise Cech at this time would have been a dead body long ago.

This is something no one thought of.

What surprised Fei and Brook even more was that it was rare for Oleg to be thanked by a "positive person" like Petr Cech, so that this sycophant looked a little embarrassed and just picked his own glory With a bald head, he smiled foolishly.

Fei sounded funny, and immediately burst out laughing.

Then let Brook lead Cech out of the iron prison first. Although the captain of the king's guard escaped torture in the prison these days, his body has become very weak after living in such an environment for a long time. The strength of the two-star samurai supported him, and he was afraid that he would be ill for a long time, so it was better to go out to bask in the sun and recuperate.

Fei himself stayed in the Iron Prison for the time being.

"Oleg, what will happen to the bodies of prisoners in the Iron Prison if they suddenly die of illness or are executed in accordance with the law?"

Fei sat on the stone chair and closed his eyes to think for a while, when he suddenly thought of something, he asked aloud.

"According to traditional customs, it should be burned, but burning in this underground grotto will cause poor air flow. Therefore, if the prisoners after execution are not claimed by their relatives, they will generally be thrown into the underground river and washed away by the river."

The warden Oleg didn't know what the king meant when he asked this, so he bowed his waist and answered cautiously.

"oh… "

Fei was a little disappointed, and asked again: "Are there still undisposed corpses in the prison?"

Oleg felt strange, and still didn't know why the king asked this, so he could only return cautiously: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Lord Brook said this morning that you would come to rectify the iron prison yourself, so... so I have asked the jailer to remove all the corpses Dealt with."

"Huh? What a coincidence, are there any death row inmates who have committed serious crimes and need to be executed recently?"

Hearing this, Oleg probably understood the meaning of His Majesty the King. After thinking about it carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, three wandering mercenaries were killed by Brook half a month ago because they killed people in the city. My lord personally caught him and sent him to prison, but he has not been executed, and is now being imprisoned in a water prison, besides, the body of the silver-masked man you brought back the day before yesterday and asked to keep it carefully is still there."

Fei Sun was overjoyed.

"Great, you immediately send someone to bring those three mercenaries over... Well, bring the body of the man in the silver mask along with you, and prepare a well-sealed stone room... Oh, yes, the black-clothed magician Is the teacher still alive? How is he now?"

"Your Majesty, according to your previous order, as soon as the magician shows signs of awakening, the jailer will immediately break his bones and make him pass out. Now that guy is still lying in a coma in the recidivist cell!"

When Oleg thought of this perverted and vicious order from Fei, he felt a little chill in his heart.

"Ahaha, that's great. You sent someone to bring that black-clothed magician to the sealed stone room. I have important things to do."

Hearing this, Oleg quickly turned around and went out to pick up the prisoner himself and arrange a secret room.

Ten minutes later, Oleg came back, led the way, and led Fei to a spacious stone room on the sixth floor of the mountainside space. On the right hand side of this stone room, a hidden small stone room was carved out, about 20 square meters , the airtightness is very good, the corpses of the three mercenaries and the silver-masked man sentenced to death have been brought inside at this time, and the unlucky four-star magician in black cloak was dragged in like a dead dog. The secret room.

"You and the jailer are at the door, no one is allowed to come in... Remember, no matter what happens, don't come in!"

Fei nodded in satisfaction and ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

With doubts, Oleg turned around and went out with a dozen jailers, and stood obediently at the gate of the stone room outside. Although the iron prison water prison was extremely safe, Oleg was still cautious and vigilant. He could see from his expression that It can be seen that His Majesty the King may be doing something very important.
